So, I bought a new computer at the (ahem) Boxing Day Sales. It's a Toshiba and I'd like some advice on
(a) heaving the (obligatory) Windows out of the system and (b) installing the latest Ubuntu. [I'm surprised at the reaction of some people on learning of my intentions. Some regard me as a mindless iconoclast (don't mind that), others give me a penny lecture on the superiority of Microsoft over everything (do mind that).] So:--- 1) Have never considered the 64-bit version of Ubuntu. Are there any caveats? 2) There's a TV tuner in it (didn't ask for it, but it came anyhow). Will wiping Windows and installing Ubuntu affect this? 3) Whilst trolling the Web, came across mention of a Toshset package, installation of which causes all Toshiba-related Ubuntu problems to evaporate. It's the result of someone reverse-engineering some Toshiba interfaces. Has anyone heard of Toshset? Any help etc. William Bennett. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
